STOCKTON — Community Response Team members and officers from the San Joaquin Countywide Multi-Agency Gang Task Force went to Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Stanislaus Street at 5 p.m. Sunday on reports of a man with a gun. They reported finding two men who were passing a loaded handgun back and forth and arrested Javier Corona, 22, and Oscar Castaneda, also 22, without incident on suspicion of weapons charges.

The team also responded to a nearby car burglary attempt two hours later. About 7:10 p.m. Sunday, they received a call from a camera room operator who reported a potential auto theft in progress at Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard and Hunter Street. Officers said one person was carrying a loaded concealed handgun. They arrested Martin Castaneira, 31, on suspicion of weapons possession.

California Highway Patrol officers responded to a call on the incident about 10:10 p.m. They found a blue van that matched the suspect vehicle's description in the area of Bianchi Road and Townehome Drive.

Officers said they saw the driver of the van run a stop sign and throw an object out the driver's side window. They said they detained 38-year-old Ho Tran in a traffic stop.

The object that was thrown to the ground was recovered and determined to be a silver, five-shot, .22-caliber handgun, officials said.

Stockton police were called to take over the investigation and arrested Tran on suspicion of felony weapons charges.

SAN ANDREAS — An Arnold man who had major injuries from a motorcycle accident Saturday was arrested on suspicion of driving drunk.

CHP reports say the motorist was riding east on the highway at extremely high speeds when he failed to turn correctly at a curve in the road.

The man crossed over to the westbound lane and struck a rock embankment, authorities said, and was ejected from his motorcycle.

Tyrus Kasravi, 51, was airlifted to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto with major injuries. Kasravi was arrested at the hospital for driving under the influence.

STOCKTON — California Highway Patrol officers were heading south on Interstate 5 south of French Camp Road when they spotted a white Toyota with expired registration at 11:52 a.m. Monday.

Officers turned on the patrol car's red emergency lights to initiate a stop, but the vehicle continued traveling.

A high-speed pursuit ensued past Highway 120 and onto westbound Interstate 205 in Tracy. The suspect vehicle weaved in and out of lanes to evade officers, the CHP reported.

The Toyota exited the freeway at the MacArthur Drive offramp in Tracy before losing control and striking a traffic light pole, officials said. The driver and a passenger fled on foot into a dirt field.

Police caught up to them and took them into custody. Adonai Ogbe, 18, of Oakland and Raymond Coopwood Jr., 19, of Emeryville were arrested on suspicion of weapons possession and resisting arrest.
